A random thought... How efficient is a full head of hair as a receptor for virus particles? Does this indicate the benefits of wearing a hat or shaving the head?
This hypothesis falls down immediately, Cummings is bald as a coot.... Back to the drawing board?

Like me, you are tending towards cool weather foods Maz. Very wise!

Speaking of putting two fingers up.... The Cummings affair whilst not a deal-breaker in itself is a good example of bad leadership and thus reflects on Johnson. Classic example of do as I say not as I do and in effect showing contempt for the proles locked in their urban high rise flats. It's a ques...

You've given up. If there are no offers this morning I shall come clean.

Another blustery day and some quite large branches pulled of of the trees. I decided it was best not to walk through Valley Gardens under the trees, quite a few dead ones overhanging the path. At 20:00 we had a wind, dry with broken cloud and clear patches. Still a breeze first thing this morning, c...

I gave the link to Susan and she reported that it reduced her to floods of tears! Well worth a listen!

Small pork Pie and two small tomatoes for breakfast. Sausage, egg, peas and chips for tea.

He was still fast Ian and the best! I noted yesterday that bowlers in cricket matches are to be prohibited from spitting on the ball as an aid to polishing one side of it but sweat will be allowed. That reminded me of a small forgotten corner that was quite a controversy at the time but is now a for...

Ask yourself the old questions, would I buy a used car from him and would he make a good house guest. QED

It's so complex there must be something good in it David. After all it is the water of life. (Usquebaugh)
Don't forget probiotics in cheese!

Wendy, snap! High winds disorientate me. However, no problems with the current wind, the houses shelter each other in the town. Shed and pedicure happened yesterday. Good on both counts. High risk work in shed at the moment, too bloody small!! Nevertheless I shall be in there today for more punishme...

I like Ian's suggestion. When the Clean Air acts were brought in and coal smoke was sharply reduced one unintended consequence was the flare up of mildew and rust attacks on plants, particularly roses. Similar effect with pollen and hay-fever?

Tiz, quite right, it was David wot done it. (dissembling) Susan and I decided that on a balance of probabilities, the advantages of being closer than 2 metres to allow a pedicure were worth the risk so we managed it. She aND DAUGHTER jESS HAVE MADE THE SAME DECISION SO SHE CAN HOLD kAHARA AND NOT DE...

Not a problem that affects me....

"but the 'discussions' are a bit thin and watery that's why I stick to OG"
I like that....
Whoever cut the plaque mustn't have known about the ampersand for his correction.....

No problem Ian. I have some lumps of heavy aluminium that will almost certainly do. Let me know the size you want and I can check.

Our streetsweeper is happy as lockdown means less litter.
How happy my feet are this morning after a pedicure by Susan. We thought the risk of contamination was worth it.

"I would rather die upon yonders gallows than live my life in slavery." Samuel Sharpe. There is some dispute about the birth date of Archer Samuel Sharpe, known as Sam Sharpe, but none about his end, for on May 23, 1832, he was hanged for his leadership role in Jamaica’s last and largest slave rebel...

I'm listening to Kirstie Alsop (the house finding programme lady) on R4 talking about the benefits of doing things with your hands. She compares it with meditation in that you get so absorbed in what you are doing that you forget all your cares and hang ups and work almost on a spiritual plane. Coul...

And very good for you. Fresh fish beats frozen despite the cost. The Covid virus has stopped our fresh fish van attending on Thursday and Saturday, I miss it.

Not TV, Radio 4. Listen to the 15 minute programme aired at 05:45 this morning. I think it was called Legacy of War. A tear jerker but well worth listening to.

I prefer the tailors term for the condition Maz; 'embonpoint'!

Didn't understand any of that but I am impressed Ian!
